It is back to school time! To kick off the school year, expect heat, humidity, and pop-up showers and storms. Just like the last few days, downpours are possible but not everyone will get wet.
Today & Tonight: Students heading back to class Thursday morning should prepare for muggy conditions right out the door. Highs will climb into the mid-90s, but heavy moisture in the air will push heat index values near 105–106° across the region. That combination of heat and humidity is expected to spark isolated afternoon storms, so tossing an umbrella in your child's backpack is a smart precaution. While rainfall will be isolated, any heavy downpour that develops could quickly drop an inch or two. Overnight, any remaining storms will fizzle, and lows will reach the mid-70s.

Up Next: Expect the hot and humid pattern to stick around for the next seven days. Daily temperatures will consistently climb into the mid-90s, with deep moisture pushing feels-like values anywhere from 100° to 107°. Pop-up afternoon storms will be a routine feature each day. By the latter half of the weekend and into early next week, an influx of tropical moisture will boost precipitation odds even further. While rainfall won't cover every neighborhood daily, any storm that develops brings the potential for heavy rain, frequent lightning, brief gusty winds, and a temporary cool-down.
